Breathing Underwater

[Angel Ryder]

"That's all I ask... and hey... we're all messed up in our own ways." Angel chuckled lightly. "Guess we'll be messed up together."

[Becky Sandoval]

"That's not exactly a great sales pitch," Becky smirked as she followed Angel out of the ready room and on to the bridge.

"Admiral," the Officer of the Deck announced. "We're being hailed by the Erebus."

The starscape was replaced by the bridge of the Erebus. The captain was a Narlin woman, and had the Narlin Defense Force badge on the left shoulder of her Alliance uniform marking her as a member of both militaries. "Admiral, Command has ordered us to aide you if we can."

[Angel Ryder]

"That's helpful... nice to see someone doesn't think we're nuts." Angel replied and smiled slightly. "Send a shuttle, apparently the local guard freaks out when they see a big ship even if it's an ally." she tapped her chin. "You have cloaks on the fighter wing right? Send a shuttle, but keep a couple cloaked fighters tailing them. I think this ship that crashed is more dangerous than the Romulans are letting me think it is."

[Lehona Sunstrider]

"We do, but they are Mark VIII cloaks and will be detected by the Romulans. After all we gave them the same tech." The Narlin shrugged, "If they are not too keen on capital ships on their doorstep I'll keep the Erebus and the carrier group cloaked for now."

Rebecca popped into frame, "I am also at your disposal Admiral. My mission to Monestary was less than... pleasant. I would welcome a distraction."

[Angel Ryder]

"More the merrier I suppose." Angel said with a smile. "If that ship is full of Bellatrix's clone troopers, we'll need all the help we can get to neutralize them so we can study them and figure out what she's using against us." she sighed and shook her head. "Although I do wonder if the Romulans are going to try and poach whatever Intel they can and that's why they're all weird about us checking on this."

[Becky Sandoval]

Becky leaned in, "That solves the command issue on the Kitea. I'll remain here for you or Captan Morris to return."

[Angel Ryder]

"You just like it when Aunt Becca is around so you can stay in command." Angel gave her a wink. "Kitea is yours Captain." she saluted her XO. "Oh before I forget... tell engineering to get the repair drones to seal the hole where the Yacht deploys. Last thing we need if we do need Kitea is a big fucking hole in the middle of my saucer that only has a forcefield keeping space and enemy fire out. Besides... when I go on maternity leave, this is your bird. Get used to being called her captain, Commander."

[Lehona Sunstrider]

"I'll order the Zebulon Pike to follow your shuttle under cloak just in case. The rest of the group will prepare for the worst case scenario."

[Angel Ryder]

"Let's hope the worst case doesn't happen." Angel replied. "As my grandmother likes to say, 'Hope for the best... cope with the rest."
